Al Qaeda Jail Break

Rebel forces penetrated deep into the former southern stronghold of Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi today as Al Qaeda freed hundreds of inmates in a jailbreak elsewhere in the chaos-hit country.

A drone strike in Pakistan this week killed three Al Qaeda operatives who ran a training camp in neighbouring Afghanistan to prepare militants for attacks including this week's jail break in Pakistan, a Taliban commander said on Wednesday.

Dozens of heavily armed Taliban fighters freed nearly 250 prisoners, including hardcore militants, during a sophisticated overnight attack on a Pakistani jail that killed 13 people, officials said today.

Hundreds of convicts, including senior members of al Qaeda, broke out of Iraq's Abu Ghraib jail as comrades launched a military-style assault to free them, authorities said on Monday.
